Nashville PI Jackson Gamble is back on the case, and this time he's on the trail of the mentally unstable son of wealthy real estate developer Richard Eberle, who himself has only months to live. Complications quickly arise, as not only has the young man in question left no hint as to where he might have gone, but also that, apart from his father, the very people who should be most concerned for the missing man's well-being seem determined to make sure he isn't found. In short order, what starts out as an ordinary missing person investigation quickly turns deadly, as bodies begin to pile up. And as the case unfolds, Gamble finds he is on the verge of discovering a dark and deadly family secret that threatens not also his reputation, but also his life.

Nashville PI Jackson Gamble is hired by a muckraking newspaper columnist to track down a missing woman named Darlene Munson, who is in possession of a secret file that holds the proof needed to expose a far-reaching conspiracy to rig a statewide election. In the process of searching for the "woman in the wind," bodies pile up as Gamble runs afoul of the city's police department, and political leadership, its most widely-read newspaper, the all-powerful recording industry and an urbane, but no less ruthless, organized crime boss. And after nearly getting killed himself, Gamble must make one of the hardest choices he has ever faced, one that may quite literally allow a beautiful woman to get away with murder.

Nashville PI Jackson Gamble had worked for bail-bonder Fat Wally before. And he'd rounded up Tommy Mack before. So, Gamble figured, it would be a cinch to round him up again. But that's not quite how things go this time around. Then, in the midst of Gamble's lackadaisical search for Tommy Mack, a beautiful woman who smells of irises walks into his office and asks him to find her professor husband, four years disappeared. Gamble takes the case, unaware that he is about to step into a deadly quagmire of crime culled from every level of society. Peeling the skin off secrets one by one, Gamble shows the reader where petty criminals, academic life, lost husbands, lawyers, big crime, and, sadly, the death of innocents all meet.
